INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. JTchael.Revnolds, on appearing to claim his discharge, yesterday, was opposed by Mr. Pol lot•k, on the ground of his not having accounted for• certain property of his wife, consisting of stock, &c: r- lative to , her business of a dress maker. The Learned Counsel examined the In solvent at great' length, whir denied that his wife had ever:been possessed of any stock, and assert ed, that the debt for which he was opposed, was not one of his Mewling, but for which he had become answerable far his brother. He also de clared that he had gone to the creditor in ques tioo, on finding that his brother was in that situ ation which would preclude him from liquidating the debt-, and cautioned him as to giving him any more credit. This lir. Riley, 'the creditor, de nied, and as strongly asserted that the sum in question was incurred for goods . obtained from him by the wife of the Insolvent in his name. A Mrs. Elizabeth Eady was called to prove that the wife of the Insolvent was possessed of stock, &e., and that, she had purchased a dress of her for two pounds ten shillings. The prisoner was on this examined by the Court ; he said his wife had followed the business of a dress-maker for five years, but she merely made up dresses brought to her by Ladie3 for that purpose; and that if Ladies called at her apart ments by appointment, to inspect any materials, she was in the constant habit of borrowing arti cles for their inspection, on which she obtained a commission in the event of a sale taking place, and if otherwise, the goods were returned. The dress alluded to by Mrs. Eady had, under such circumstances, been, with other articles, obtained of a Mrs. Mary Ann Husband, the whole of whiCh had b'een returned save the dress in question. Mrs. Husband was called, who corroborated the evidence on the part of the Insolvent in every particular. Mr. HEATH also opposed the discharge of the Insolvent on the behalf of another creditor named Jones, on the ground that he bad given an undue preference to a person named Mills, by giving up to him certain duplicates. Both objections were over-ruled, and the pri soner was ordered to be discharged. Gaoss FRAUD.—John Powell, a respectable man, was yesterday charged at the Mansion house with the following act of fraud.' His fattier, an old and infirm man, was confined in Whitecross-street prison for debt, but having 13751. in the 3 per Cents. Reduced Consols, he gaVe the prisoner a power of attorney to Obtain the dividend, for the purpose of dividing it among the sons and daughters. Instead of this, the pri soner changed the power given him, and made it a power over the whole stock, which he trans ferred away from the father. The sum he paid his poor old dying father for the last.hall year's dividend, was but 31. 19s. , The LORD MAYOR obtained the assistance of a person from the Bank, who was of opinion that the prisoner and those who witnessed the deed might be prose cuted for a conspiracy to defraud, but not for forgery. His Lordship advised the prisoner to re transfer the stock, or he might expect the most exemplary punishment. The prisoner hesitated. He was remamied. BOXERS.—The match between Eales )Ind Isle of Wight Hall was made good ouThursd a y even ing. , ' DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Yesterday a General Meeting of the Creditors of this Establishment took place in the Saloon, and Mr. Alderman Cox was unanimously celled to the Chair. Mr. IRONMONGER stated, that the Meeting was con vened with a view to submit to its consideration a proposal from the Sub-Committee, for the composition of the debts of the Theatre. This proposal was, to pay at once Five Shil lings the Pound, and to pay Five Shillings moresattalit close of the Season—the latter to be guaranteed by -the personal security of the Nlemhers of the Sub-Com mittee, by whom the whole sum was to be advaficed. The'dehts of the Theatre amounted, he said, to Thirty-four 'rhousand Pounds, and the' efore the sum for which the Sub- Committee were willing for the benefit of the Theatre, and the satisfaction of the Creditors, to become liable, would amount to 17,0001.: but no advance whatever would be made, or liability incurred by the Sub Committee, unless the pro position which he had stated were accepted by all the Credi tors. Here Mr. Ironmonger animadverted upon the condi tion of the Theatre. It was derogatory, he felt, to the con sequence of this great Establishment, as well as to the cha racter of its ProprOory, that it should become necessary to propose any reduction of the claims of honest tradesmen, or to offer them payment of a moiety of their demand, instead of discharging it altogether. I'he great body of the Pro ' psietors ought, in his judgment, rather to conic forward each with a certain advance. in order to pay off the ere , ditors. But no such disposition was manifested, or would lie apprehended he found to exist; therefore the Snb- Committee, anxious to discharge the duty which they had undertaken, by enabling the Theatre to go on, had de termined nn the proposition which he hail had the ho nour of submitting to the Meeting. He telt happy that it was the first act of his connection with• the Sub- Committee (from whom alone this propirsitiou_ emanated) to bring forward a measure so likely to conduct to the interest of his constituents, and to the advantage of this great national establishment. The Sub-Committee were im presied with the conviction that the Theatre could not pos sibly go on amidst its present embariasstuents under the pres sure of so much debt and incumbrance, and hence they felt the necessity of calling the Creditors together fur the pur pose of considering a proposition which sprung from motives that could not be misunderstood, and which, if acceded to, would require from every Member of that• Committee a consi derable pecuniary advance, while it 'night possibly iavolve the whole of them in ultimate loss. [lot the Committee saw thei'e was no prospect that the great property •chniiiiitted to their care would ever become -productive unless some sa crifice were made; they saw the necessity of the caseapd they determined upon proposing that sacrifice to which they were willing; and to . Whicli it was the particular interest' of that Meeting to submit, for-the great majority of those whom • he had the honour to address were the es•tablislred tradesmen of the Theatre, whose interest was, therefore, interwoven with its success. Mr. I. concluded with.an impressive recomL mendation to the Meeting duly to consider thy nature" and object of the proposition which he bad described-4o weigh well their collective and individual interest in the Theal and, aboVe all, to reflect upon the'consequenies hut'tOo likely to follow from the rejection of such a proposition: • hlr. HOULSTQNE expressed his approbation of the pro posal which had just been made, and his hope. that itsadop tion would " not be impeded by any narrow view of persimal. interest. A Creditor, whose name could notbe learnt; observed, that as his demand upon the Theatre was for goods turaishea last season, and tor which Mr. Moore proluistM him 'payment at the close of the season, such a demand'ought not to-be in cluded iu the arrangement proposed. , r The CHAIRMAN begged to inform this Rentleman, that Mr. Moore, who was incapable of decrivi4;any inan; Made: a similar promise to others; hut he mane such,promises ill pro tect good faith, for he was . encouraged to calculate iron HF. exertions, and the prospects which appeared at the time that the success of the flteatre would be such as to.enable it to satisfy all its Creditors. lint Mr. Moore incurred no.petsonal liability. He was himself deceived, and the claim of the Gentleman who had just spoken was on the same footing as all the others, which arose out of Unsuccessful seasons and the disappointed hopes of those by whom the Theatre was 'superintended. This Gentleman's claim must then in justice he included among the rest, and it should be borne in - mind, as Mr. Ironmonger had stated, that unless this proposition to the Creditors were universally acceded le, it would be al-' together abandoned, for such was the decision of the Sub- Connitittee. • Mr. QUIN approved of the proposition of the Sub-Commit tee,for which ,i ndeed, he thought theta emit led,to great praise, and it was known that he had not been for some time among the panegyrists of that body; but their conduct in this in stance was truly meritorious. They felt the duty they had undertaken—they saw the difficulty of their situation, aim they determined upon some sacrifice, and a greet risk of their own means, fur the purpose of relieving the Theatre, and benefiting the Creditors; for he would say, that this proposal was really calculated to benefit the Creditors, and was as much as could be reasonably expected, under all the cirenm stances of the case. As a Proprietor he thanked the Sub- Committee for making it ; and as a Creditor be agreed to it. After some desultory conversation is was proposed that Mr. Alderman Cox should retire from the Chair, and that one of the Creditors should take it, for the purpose of nomi nating a Committee of seven Creditors, to consider the pro position, to confer upon it with the Members of the Sub-Com mittee, and to report the result to the Creditors at large.— Mr. Alderman Cox accordingly retired, and Mr. Walker, of the Strand, was unanimously called to the Chair. The proposition of 11r. Ironmonger being again stated to the Meeting, Mr. PERRY, who had just entered the room, expressed his approbation of it, in the most decided terms. It strongly marked, in his opinion, the liberal characterof the Gentlemen with whom it originated, and it was obviously calculated for the benefit of the creditors; he hoped for its adoption without any dissent. The situation of the Theatre' was known ; and it was quite.evident, that there was no chance of its success, unless it were relieved:from, its present embar rassments. It was, hutted, impossible that such an eslablishL. ment could go on with' a load of debt - pres`sing upon it:— He therefore •hop•ed and trusted,., that, from a consideration of their own . interest, and that of the great national under taking with which they were connected, the. Gentlemen whom he had' the honour to address would aeadiesce In the propo sition of the SA-Committee. For himself,i as a creditor, be. had tits_ .hesitation in acceding to it ;raps! ~s. l reir it was fully concluded, he thought, that with the respectable CoMmittee which superintended the concerti's of the TifeAtre; dim:Mined with judicious management, there:was every , reason. to calcu late upon its future success. The Meeting then proceeded lb nominate a Committee ; and the Chairman, with Messrs. Derville, Mitchell, Richards, Marchant, Weir, and Neale, were appointed. The Chairman proposed the appointment of Mr. Perry, but that Gentleman declined to un dertake the office. • It is understood that this Committee will make its report on Friday next. BENEFIT SOCIETIES.-It was yesterday deter mined at Union-Hall, that no lienefii Society had a right to abridge the stipulated allowance to a member per week, unless such a resolution of the majority bad previously been submitted to the Magistrates - at their Quarter Sessions and ap proved by them. Last week 4 woman, a passenger in the Maria, PEEBLES, Irow Liverpool to Glasgow, was sately delivered of a f►ne female child. The child is named Maria Peebles ; but as she was born at an equidistant point from Scotland, England, and Ireland, a difficulty will occur to say to what country she belongs. [PRICE SEVENPENCE; FOR TESL SUN. OF IMPRISONMENT FO! DEBT, AND THE ACT or INSOLVENCY. tLETTER CONCLUSION Having given a compendious history of the laws of arrest in civil cases, and snbmi!ted comments thereon, I now turn to the perpetual Act of Insolvency, sincerely,wishing it had never passed, and as sincerely hoping that it will be of short duration. It is indeed an Act of Inventions, as said by one Law Lord, and an Act founded on a good principle, as was said by another; but it encompasses much more than can serve the Creditor or relieve the Debtor; and doing so, it has raised a, sort of petty Judicature, with Wirers, Counsel, and I'ractisers, to harass and confuse the distressed, and increase the loss of their distempered oppo nents. A hook of practice has been pahlished, as an Instructor aericalis, forms of notices, adver tisements, petitions, schedules, and inventories, for which toy first proposal is that be repealed without delay. I compare it to a tree whose root is sound, but whose branches bear unequal fruit. The a larger abound with clusters of the crab, and the smaller. produce tew or none of the pippin. The sour prevtiils over the swi.et, and makes it altogether nauseous and mipalateable. The old - Acts of insolvency are preferable. They never put a petitioner for relief into a crucible, melt nis flesh into oil, and burn his bones into glauber salt. They discharged him on his first application, and the costs were under forty shillings ; but the ex isting Act is a novelty of expediency, pregnant of difficulties, and no poor Debtor, when dis charged from 'prison, can call himself free, while liable to be retaken on any suggestion of deceit in his examination, true or false, and recommit ted in execution of a supposed exonerated judg ment. This has happened 'at the vindictive in sthnce of a malignaur Creditor, and the harassed Debtor has undergone additional imprisonment, before' he had the opportunity to cleat' the charge, when he' was set again at liberty'at . an • increased 'expensa„ but still liable to a similar call from his oppressor, suspended bet'een hope and fear that it-might be made. One example will affect humanity,.. A man was 'suefl . to judgment by another wham- hehad..takeniinto hrs hoarse and., m bosom. for oney he had paid, but. having no , other witness-of the fa& than his wife, whose, pvideiice could nor be admitted, .he failed in his detence. , Not able and, less willing-to pay what , did not owe, he was sent to jail, and after re tuaining there a year apd a halt,. be applied: for relief under this hopeless A c ct. His schedule con. (Mired his all, with,a mortgage upon a part of it, leaving a very small balance. Every one of his Creditors was agreeable, for his discharge, except his complaipant in the action, who opposed it on an allegation that he did not state in his schedule the lease of his dwelling-house; and that his mort gage was colourable and occasional, to avoid his just debts. Confused at such 'an unexpected bol stered-up story, he could not explain himself, and was remanded. Being brought op a. third time, . he said he had no lease of his dwelling-house, and his landlord proved it in Court; but.being charged wide making his mortgage while the suit against, him depended, he said it bore a retrospect for ' more than a year, when be was solvent, and in,trust for real value. To correct a statement of this tact in his schedule, he was again remanded, after an expense for Counsel, Agents, &c. &c. &c..of 301.? In short the Act, well-intended as it was, is complex, too troublesome and costly, to be com plied with. It erects a little Forum, and by means of Creditors, with their coadjutors, it stretches Justice into trade, without any imputation what ever on those who are cotacerned in its execution. Let it therefore be repealed or amended. Coun sel, Agents, and hangers-on are unnecessary. They are the ehiel gainers, at the expense of In. solvents, who pant for liberty and dread.
